A Denmark woman has claimed the $4 million Megabucks jackpot from Saturday's drawing.

The Wisconsin Lottery says Michelle Grant brought in the winning ticket Monday to the Lottery's Madison headquarters where it was validated. The ticket was sold at Lakeshore Lighthouse, 1614 Center Street in Kewaunee.

Grant chose to take the $4 million jackpot's single lump-sum cash payment of $2.9 million. She will receive $1.98 million after taxes.

For selling the ticket, the store earns an $80,000 commission from the Lottery. Lottery retailers who sell winning tickets with prizes of $600 or more earn the equivalent of 2% of the prize, up to a maximum commission of $100,000.
